Season Pass

The Gears of War 3 Season Pass hooks players up with the first four DLC packs as they become available. The first is scheduled for November 1st it is titled the "Horde Command Map Pack", and the next three are scheduled to release "over the course of the next year." Epic stated that the packs would contain both multiplayer and campaign content, but has yet to go into specifics about them.

The Season Pass went on sale on the game's launch day, September 20, and retails for 2400 Microsoft Points ($30) on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Microsoft stated that the Season Pass is a 33% saving over buying the four DLC packs separately. Fans who order the Season Pass will also get a Liquid Metal Weapon Set, including the Liquid Metal Lancer. One of the DLC is rumored to be similar to a deleted level like "Road to Ruin" from Gears of War 2, while Rodd said that the second DLC Pack will contain campaign content, he stated the content will be entirely new, and not part of the original Gears of War 3 Campaign.
